Good job Aleksi, for bringing the blog and my writing motivation alive again.

This is Hemmo reporting from the editing/torture room. Its now 6:20 in the morning after a sleepless night yet again. I've been confined to this room for about a month now (except for the skiexpo/premierehullabalooza-time) editing and MAINLY trying to get my computer to work...

+358, the 08/09 skiflick had it's premiere last friday and I gotta say it went pretty well. A ton of people were present and the show before and after the film was great. I got some positive feedback after the premiere, but everyone should watch the movie again at home to get a better outlook on it. WHEN it finally is online. The situation doesn't look good right now...

All you loska forum dudes if your reading this, remember to post your honest opinion and dont hesitate to criticize. Good honest critique will most definetly help me and the boys in making a better film next season.

As Aleksi said in the previous post, its finally snowing. Couldn't be more exited. or actually I could :D I've got a pretty nasty flu right now and what could be more frustrating than just sitting next to window and watching the first good snow falling outside. Tommorow, or actually today, im going outside to film, no matter what.

Oh yeah, I've got two videos coming out soon, the first one from the Jtstour stop at Jyväskylä and then the other one from the finals at Helsinki. Watch out for them during the next week.

I gotta say it's a privilege to live in Finland. Early season snowfall is the best way to correlate the bleak and dark days of Autumn. Temperature numbers are currently sub zero and it's snowing now!

I hope we're taking the advantage of the situation and go hit handrails tomorrow evening! So this is the official post for all readers to catch up again because Hemmo is about to start filming the new movie.

So the great exhibition weekend is over and we've all settled back into real life. New faces, new products and new season are all here. Pyry is about to download the new flick on vimeo.com as soon as possible. It will also be on Downdays.eu! So please be patient and enjoy the movie.

JTS City Rail Tour Finals went down in Helsinki right before the weekend and it was a success. Small edit dropping soon! Check back soon!

The rail setup here looks soooo sick. It includes a mellow dfd-rail, a box with a HUUUUUGE drop at the end and a basic downrail. There is some video-material from the rails uploading right now so you can see the setup. It'll be up in an hour or so.

Ice rink rail session = FAIL :D. The rail or actually a plastic tube was the shittiest ever and we gave up on it pretty quickly...

Tommorrow i'm travelling to Joensuu for the FIRST contest of the season JIAA! The contest is about rails of course

There are three stops on the competition circuit before the grande final in the middle of Helsinki at the end of the month. I'm gonna try to be at every stop and get edits out from all of them. And by looking at the riderlists for each competition the level of the comps is gonna be impressive.

First edit from JTStour is going to be up Sunday/Monday. Depending on how crazy the afterparty is at Joensuu...

Just finished a "documentary" for the University of Helsinki on a burning experiment conducted last summer.

THE hardest project yet, due to the fact that I had to narrate the whole thing in english and because i've never worked on a project like this.

Well atleast I got some good artsy shots from the burning site. + Some good experience and ofcourse some CASHMONAAY for the upcoming skiseason.

Will be posting the edit later this week. Now for some redeyed relaxation and a good night sleep, cus tommorow were FINALLY going to the ice rink for some quality pre-season rail action. Edit to follow if everything goes as planned!
